East-Bound Roads Center;ng at Chicago
Issue New Tariff.
CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-The Chicago east
bound roads have issued a new tariff on
export freight, making the rates the same
via all American ports. The rate oD
grain, which is the principal article ex-
ported from Chicago, is 32c per 100 to
Liverpool, 35c to London and Csc to Glas-
gov. Heretofore the rate on export
fright has been nominally made by add
ins the through rate from Chicago to the
seaboard co the ocean rate; but, in point
of fact, actual export rates were about 1Oc
lower than the sum OF the inland and the
ocean rate, owing to the clandestine cut
ting Of rates indulged in by nearly all
lines. The new rates which have now
been adopted apply by all lines and
via all Atlantic ports, and the managers
of the Eastern roads hope to be able to
maintain them. Shippers, however, claim
that many of the roads have contracts
good until the 1st of January to carry ex.,
port grain and provisions at rates &c to
to .0c lower than the published tariff.

THREATEN CIVIL WAR
EIURDEE OF A TELLE0UAH EDTTOE
ApT TO pEECIPITATE TROUBLE.

Opposing Political Factions in Indian
Territory Aiming and Fears Entertained
That the Tragedy Is But the beginning
of a Lopg-Threatcned Civil War.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Oct. 25.-Advices
from Tallequah, !. T., report great excite
lnent there over the murder Of Editor
Stone of the Telephone newspaper, who
was shot Saturday by E. G. Boudinot, OF
the Advocate. Stone represented the re-
form party who oppose further conces-
sions Of land to the cattle syndicate. His
paper contained bitter attacks upon the
Nationalists, the party in power, who are
accused Of ballot-boX stufIing to retain
their offices. The Advocate is the organ
of the latter party. Both sides are arm
ing themselves and it is feared that the
tragedy is the beginning of civil war
that has long been predicted in the Cher
Ckee nation.
The tragedy is the climax to the most
bitter political fight that has ever taken
place in the territory and the indications
are that it will result in the renewal of
tribal relations and the throwing open of
the territory to settlers. The Cherokee
Advocate is the official organ OF the Ma
tionaiists, Or tho party in power. The
Telephone is the recognized organ of the
opposition party. At the opening OF the
campaign for the election OF chief, the
Telephone Immediately attacked the
party in power. One of the issues was
the leasing of the territory known as the
Cherokee strip to the cattlemen. The
Nationalists were in favor of leaving it
at the old figures, but the opposition
fought il, charging the administration
with corruption.
When Mays, the opposition candidate,
was elected, the Advocate raised wild
cry of fraud, and asking for another
count. While the leaders were wrang-
! ling over the result it is alleged that one
of the ballot-boxes was stolen and stuffed
with enough votes to elect the admins
stration candidate on a new count. A
new count did take place and the Nation
nlists claimed the election of their man
For three weeks the Telephone has been
making attacks on Boudinot, alleging
that he was not honest and ask
ing him to account for certain
! fund in his hands. When
| Boudinot's attention was called to
the article he armed himself and went to
| the Telephone office. Stone was alone at
! his desk Boudiuot demanded retrac-
ton, which Stone refused. Stone ordered
him out of the Office. Boudinot says
that Stone at the same time put his hand
under his desk, and thinking Stone was
about to draw a weapon, the Advocate
man fired The bullet struck Stone in
the neck and he lived only a Jew hours.
Boudinot has been taken in charge by
his friends, but has not been arrested.
